XC Ski (Skating) 1:05:00 [3] 14.25 km (4:34 / km) +300m 4:08 / km
shoes: '05 White/Red/Black Fischer Sk
Gunstock - freshly groomed hard pack. Temps just below freezing, so it was just soft enough to hold an edge.
One spectacular wipe out at about 35 kph (speed per GPS arm unit went from 35 to 0 very quickly) - surface was a bit chunky and uneven, caught an inside edge and went sprawling right onto my chest, knocking the wind out of me. Was a group of novices coming down the hill behind me - was concerned about getting run over or one of them crashing into me. Was able to pick myself up, and get going before them got down to where I was - I think the wipeout spooked some of them, so they were taking it very slow...
Other than that, a very pleasant day on the trails. Quite a few folks out.

XC Ski (skating) 35:00 [2] 4.5 km (7:47 / km) +80m 7:09 / km
Evening ski in the snow. Stayed on new race trail complex. Weak headlamp (2 LEDs) but enough to see where I was going.
